Front end looks a bit mis-matched with one Ducati-esque headlight and one round one. Gotta say I'm not a fan personally, just seems like it's trying to be something it's not, a bit like them Toyota MR2s you see sometimes kitted out to look like a Ferrari.

I like it!!!!

Think this might be another one like that streetfighterd FZR i think it was. Not to everyones taste but i think you can appreciate the time and effort gone into personalising it!

I dont like the MR2 kitted out like ferraris though!! lol
Just keep it as an MR2 its a decent enough car and looks pretty kool

[monkey]

yeah i think its a job well done, shouldnt have blocked one of the lights of thou

As for me - this is one of the better NC29 conversion. Never think that something except calipers from Ducati can be fit to NC29. But here is complete forks. Does anybody know where to get PROMACH top yoke?

i race a nc29 with a ducati 916 front fairing and also use the duc's side fairings but maintain the nc29 seat unit. currently for sale on ebay with pics, take a look !!!

Not a fan myself

The miss matched headlights look a nightmare

Clever photography angles - but the back end looks just wrong, and stuck on at the wrong angle.

Loads of trick parts - all straight - or defective Ducati parts?


Lots of time and attention goine into it obviously. But why give it up? Guessing the bloke had to give up on the concept - nice try though!


It went for £920.
I think that says it all...


great to see a tinkering mechanic though.


Cheers

PS:
I personally reckon the backend on the CBR4 is iconic - why get rid of it?!?!

stevie wonder make this perhaps

[1990nc30]

I saw this on ebay the other day, i think it looks awesome!

[spudhed]

not bad, but there was one that was done by someone on here (the old site i think) that was an nc30 at heart but had a complete 748 makeover and it was the single most awesome vehicle ive ever seen, if i ever win the lotto ill be tracking him down and demanding he sell it
